Portion of Junction and Breakwater Trail at Cape Henlopen State Park Will Remain Closed Until April 30

DNREC’s Division of Parks and Recreation has announced that a section of the Junction and Breakwater Trail in Cape Henlopen State Park, which has been closed since Feb. 27 for utility work, will remain closed until April 30. It had been scheduled to re-open today.

The 1.5 mile section of the trail north of Wolfe Neck Road will remain closed until construction is complete. The closure is to accommodate construction of a new sewer line for the Wolfe Neck Treatment Plant, in order to improve sewer service in the Lewes area. 

During construction, the rest of the six-mile trail, from Wolfe Neck Road south to Rehoboth Beach, will continue to be open to the public.

The trail is expected to re-open completely on Friday, May 1.

For more information, please call Cape Henlopen State Park at 302-645-8983.
